Meet The Coach
Mauri
Mauricio Javier Olivera
Founder and head coach at Everest Mindful Thaiboxing. Mauri is a former neo-professional and professional Muay Thai fighter. He knows what it takes to perform at the highest level inside the ring, because he's been there.
Born in Uruguay, based in Barcelona. He holds dual degrees in Physical Education and Chemistry, plus certifications in Biomechanics, the ATG System, Oxygen Advantage, and Kettlebell training. He doesn't just teach technique. He engineers performance, and builds athletes who are seriously conditioned for it.
Mauri has competed across Muay Thai, BJJ, football, tennis, and swimming, and that range shows up in how he coaches. The other thing students notice fast is the energy. He shows up positive, every session, and that tone carries the room. His mission is simple: transform bodies, sharpen minds, and leave the world better than he found it.
How It Started
Real Muay Thai,
outdoors.
EMT started in 2017 with one idea: bring Muay Thai outdoors in the heart of Barcelona, with the same standards a serious gym would demand. Without the mirrors or the fluorescent light. Just the park, the sea air, and proper training.
What started as a small group has grown into a community that meets at sunrise, sunset, and on Saturdays, rain or shine. First-timers stay. Regulars bring friends. Almost a decade in, the format hasn't changed much, because it works.
What We Stand For
Four things,
every class.
The values that have shaped how we coach since 2017.
Authentic Muay Thai, scaled to you
Mauri fought professionally. What he teaches is the real thing, adapted for whoever's in front of him. Beginners get the same techniques as fighters, just slower.
Nothing is improvised
Two degrees and four certifications back every session. Biomechanics, mobility, breathwork, conditioning. The warm-up has a reason. The drills have a reason.
The park does something a gym can't
Open air, natural light, the sea a few meters away. Training outside changes how you train, and what you take home from it. Almost a decade of doing it have made that obvious.
The Thai way, every class
We end every session with "kob khun krap", thank you, in Thai. It's not for show. Respect for the sport, respect for the coach, and respect for whoever shared the pads with you. That's how it works here.
